Personal Choice Radio Controls
(If Equipped)
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest radio
settings as adjusted the last time your vehicle was
operated. This feature allows two different drivers to
store and recall their own radio settings for AM and FM
presets, last tuned station, volume, tone and audio source
(radio, cassette or CD). The settings recalled by the radio
are determined by which transmitter was used to enter the
vehicle. After the UNLOCK button is pressed on the
transmitter and the ignition is in RUN, the radio settings
will automatically adjust to where they were last set by
the identified driver. All vehicles are shipped with this
feature on. This feature can be disabled by your dealer
if desired.
